    A great place to stay & explore Norfolk.

  • Ann

    Everything you could wish for, including a lovely outside area, under the trees, which unfortunately we couldn’t take much advantage of as it rained all week! The bed was the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in, and the owners were very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend you stay here if you want a chilled holiday.
